💛 Florida Is Openly Hostile to African Americans

As a registered Black voter who has had his Black-held Congressional district gerrymandered out of existence, rest assured when I tell you things aren’t as bad as you’ve heard. They’re WORSE.

I'm so sorry about your mother's accident, and so glad she has good and kind people making the experience less of a nightmare. All the best to her. And to you. Please take care of yourself, as well, in this stressful time.

Thank you for the personal and moving editorial. Best wishes for your Mom's speedy recovery. I think the odds are in her favor. 💗

Loved the photo. Makes it totally clear that FL looks exactly like a very friendly, snub-nosed pistol, or that other sexual thing.

Thank you, Ray. I’ll be sure to pass the well wishes on to her. I didn’t even address her indomitable spirit. Just when you think you know someone well, a crisis comes and they show you without hesitation the depth of their character. She’s amazing.

And here I though the main image was was a happy image juxtaposed against the current horrors. 😝

they're just totally proud of their hateful bigotry too. this was a distressing and disgusting reponse to the NAACP from rick scott, a real POS.

Rick Scott issues travel advisory for ‘socialists,’ warning Florida is ‘openly hostile’ to them

Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) issued what he described as a “formal travel advisory for socialists visiting Florida,” on Tuesday, warning that the state was “openly hostile” to socialists and their enablers.

I didn’t read any further than the title of The Hill’s article. It’s enough knowing they’ll say and do whatever to retain power. If they’ll let kids get murdered in schools what *won’t* they do. 🙄

I'm somewhat confused: your article briefly mentioned some neo-nazis, gestures towards the broader institutional threats to various groups, then recounts how caring and effective your mother's treatment is. that doesn't sound worse than what I thought about Florida. the former is well known, while the latter just demonstrates that there are good folks in the state too.

@2ck

There were several things at the top of my mind: the NAACP travel ban, the Nazis out in public, and dropping all that to care for my mother. The piece is a juxtaposition of those who care nothing for others against those whose duty is to care for the well being of others. Both were a bit surprising, the bad and the good. But it sounds like you got the gist of the piece. Thanks for giving the piece your time and commenting.
